A deoxyuridine triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (dUTPase) which is induced in KB cells infected with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) was purified approximately 175-fold using affinity, hydrophobic, adsorption, and ion-exchange chromatography techniques. Of the nucleoside triphosphates commonly found in DNA and RNA, only dUTP acted as a substrate for the enzyme, and the apparent Km was 4 microM. While the HSV-1-induced dUTPase exhibited activity in the absence of added divalent cations, the activity was stimulated by Mg2+ and inhibited by EDTA. The inhibition caused by EDTA was reversed by Mg2+, Co2+, or Mn2+. The HSV-1-induced dUTPase was also inhibited by hydroxymercuribenzoate and to a lesser degree by pyrophosphate but not by orthophosphate. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 53,000, and its isoelectric point was 5.8. The enzyme exhibited maximal activity over the pH range of 6.5-8.5. The enzyme was thermolabile at 45 degrees C, exhibiting a t1/2 of 35 min. The HSV-1-induced dUTPase was distinguishable from the KB dUTPase by its elution pattern on the various chromatography matrixes, isoelectric point, migration in polyacrylamide gels, thermostability, and response to divalent cations. 相似文献

EDTA at a concentration of 1 muM produced a threshold effect in the activation of purified rabbit liver fructose-1, 6-diphosphatase [EC 3.1.3.11] in the presence of 5 mM Mg2+ at pH 7.2. Without EDTA, biphasic activation curves were produced by Mg2+. A double-reciprocal plot of the data gave the Km values corresponding to the two linear regions. They were 0.19 and 0.83 mM at pH 7.5, and 0.055 and 0.83 mM at pH 9.1. In the presence of 5muM EDTA a sigmoidal curve was obtained for Mg2+ activation in the range of noninhibitory Mg2+ concentrations at pH 7.2. The apparent Km value for Mg2+ was 0.15 mM, and the Hill coefficient was 2.0. At pH 9.1 cooperativity among the Mg2+ sites disappeared, and the apparent Km value for Mg2+ was 0.055 mM. These Km values at pH 7.2 or 9.1 corresponded to the smaller of the biphasic Km values obtained without EDTA. In the absence of EDTA, no inhibition by Mg2+ was observed in the Mg2+ concentration range below 10 mM. In the presence of EDTA, the enzyme was inhibited markedly by Mg2+ at concentrations above 0.5 mM at pH 7.2, and was more sensitive to inhibition at pH 9.1. The effects of pH on the Km value for Mg2+ activation and on the Mg2+ inhibition contributed to an apparent shift of the pH optimum for activity induced by EDTA. Cooperative interaction among fructose-1, 6-diphosphate sites was observed for the enzyme in the presence of EDTA. The Hill coefficient was approximatley 1.8, and the apparent Km value for the substrate was 0.74 muM. EDTA appears to make liver fructose-1, 6-diphosphatase very sensitive to various effectors. It is suggested that Mg2+ serves as a regulator for the enzyme activity. 相似文献

Deoxyuridine triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (dUTPase) (EC 3.6.1.23) derived from HeLa S3 cells has been purified to near homogeneity as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The purified enzyme has a specific activity of about 16,000 nmol of dUMP hydrolyzed per min/mg of protein. The dUTPase enzyme derived from HeLa S3 cells appears to be composed to two equal molecular mass subunits, each being about 22,500 daltons. Association of these subunits to produce a 45,000-dalton protein is promoted by MgCl2. In the presence of EDTA enzyme activity is abolished and the enzyme dissociates into its monomeric form. MgCl2 will completely reverse the inhibition caused by EDTA and promote subunit association. MnCl2 will also promote association of the dUTPase subunits. However, MnCl2 will not completely reverse inhibition by EDTA. In addition, purified dUTPase, extensively dialyzed to remove contaminating ions, is activated almost 2-fold by the addition of 5 mM MgCl2. In contrast, addition of 5 mM MnCl2 to the dialyzed enzyme preparation will cause more than a 50% decrease in enzyme activity. This data indicates that Mg2+ is the natural prosthetic group for this enzyme. The Km value of dUTP for the purified enzyme is 3 X 10(-6) M in the presence of MgCl2. The turnover number for this enzyme has been calculated to be 550 molecules of dUTP hydrolyzed per min under standard assay conditions. Infection of HeLa S3 cells with herpes simplex type 1 virus induces a distinct species of dUTPase. This new species of dUTPase has an isoelectric point of 8.0, compared to an isoelectric point in the range of 5.7 to 6.5 for the HeLa S3 dUTPase. Molecular weight determinations of this new species of dUTPase indicate that the native enzyme is monomeric with a molecular weight of about 35,000. The virally induced dUTPase is inhibited by EDTA and this inhibition is reversed by MgCl2. Unlike the HeLa S3 dUTPase, the virally induced enzyme does not appear to be composed of subunits. 相似文献

Sulfoacetaldehyde sulfo-lyase, which decomposes sulfoacetaldehyde to sulfite and acetate, was extracted from a bacterium grown on taurine, and purified, and characterized. A method for assay of enzyme activity was devised on formation of a bisulfite adduct with benzaldehyde. The enzyme was purified 14-fold from an extract of cells grown on taurine and appeared homogeneous on disc-electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 85,000 by gel filtration. The enzyme required thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) and Mg2+ for activity and preincubation with TPP and Mg2+ was required for maximum activity. The optimum pH for activity was 7.5. The Km value for TPP was determined to be 2.7 muM and that for sulfoacetaldehyde to be 5.0mM. Sulfite was produced only from sulfoacetaldehyde among a variety of sulfonates tested. rho-Chloromercuribenzoate, EDTA, and sulfite, a reaction product, inhibited the enzyme reaction. The enzyme seemed to be inducible, since activity was found in extracts of cells grown on taurine but not on peptone. 相似文献

The role of nucleoside triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase in in vitro nucleoside triphosphate-dependent matrix vesicle calcification 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Nucleoside triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase (EC 3.6.1.8) activity is associated with matrix vesicles purified from collagenase digests of fetal calf epiphyseal cartilage. This enzyme hydrolyzes nucleoside triphosphates to nucleotides and PPi, the latter inducing precipitation in the presence of Ca2+ and Pi. An assay for matrix vesicle nucleoside triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase is developed using beta, gamma-methylene ATP as substrate. The assay is effective in the presence of matrix vesicle-associated ATPase, pyrophosphatase, and alkaline phosphatase activities. A soluble nucleoside triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase is obtained from matrix vesicles by treatment with 5 mM sodium deoxycholate. The solubilized enzyme induced the precipitation of calcium phosphate in the presence of ATP, Ca2+, and Pi. Extraction of deoxycholate-solubilized enzymes from matrix vesicles with 1-butanol destroys nucleoside triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase activity while enhancing the specific activities of ATPase, pyrophosphatase, and alkaline phosphatase. In solutions devoid of ATP and matrix vesicles, concentrations of PPi between 10 and 100 microM induce calcification in mixtures containing initial Ca2+ X P ion products of 3.5 to 7.9 mM2. This finding plus the discovery of nucleoside triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase in matrix vesicles supports the view that these extracellular organelles induce calcium precipitation by the enzymatic production of PPi. Nucleoside triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase is more active against pyrimidine nucleoside triphosphates than the corresponding purine derivatives. The pH optimum is 10.0 and the enzyme is neither activated nor inhibited by Mg2+ or Ca2+ ions or mixtures of the two. Vmax at pH 7.5 for beta, gamma-methylene ATP is 0.012 mumol of substrate hydrolyzed per min per mg of protein and Km is below 10 microM. The enzyme is irreversibly destroyed at pH 4 and is stable at pH 10.5. 相似文献

Partial purification of deoxyuridine triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase and its effect on DNA synthesis in isolated HeLa cell nuclei 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
E Wist 《Biochimica et biophysica acta》1979,565(1):98-106
Deoxyuridine triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (EC 3.6.U.23) has been partially purified from HeLa S3 cells, and found to have an apparent molecular weight of 50--55 000 by gel filtration under non-denaturing conditions. The enzyme is specific for the hydrolysis of dUTP, requires Mg2+ and is inhibited by EDTA. The apparent Km for dUTP is 0.1 microM. Isolated HeLa cell nuclei were treated with dUTPase before pulse-labelling with [3H]dTTP which also had been pretreated with dUTPase. This pretreatment changed neither the total amount nor the size of the primary DNA pieces. A role for dUTP incorporation in their genesis can therefore be excluded and these primary DNA pieces are considered to be true intermediates in discontinuous DNA replication. 相似文献

Phospholipase C from Clostridium novyi type A. II. Factors influencing the enzyme activity 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The apparent activity of phospholipase C[EC 3.1.4.3] of Clostridium novyi type A toward phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin, and phosphatidylethanolamine increased in the presence of sodium deoxycholate (SDC). The effects of divalent cations on phospholipase C activity were examined in detail at various concentrations of these cations. These effects varied with substrate. Hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine by this enzyme significantly increased in the presence of Mg2+ or Ca2+. Hydrolysis of sphingomyelin was inhibited by Ca2+, but increased in the presence of Mg2+. Phosphatidylethanolamine-hydrolyzing activity increased only slightly in the presence of Mg2+ and Ca2+. Zn2+ rather inhibited hydrolysis of these substrates. The effects of divalent cations and detergent appear to be directly related to the physical state of the phospholipid micelles used as substrates. When phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin, or phosphatidylethanolamine was used as a substrate, phospholipase C activity was completely inhibited by 2.5 mM EDTA or o-phenanthroline (concentration in the final incubation mixture: 0.5 mM), and was fully restored by Zn2+ alone. Both Ca2+ and Mg2+ were ineffective for reactivation. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was 7.1 +/- 0.1. 相似文献

Deoxyuridine triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (dUTPase) was purified to near homogeneity from the spleens of rats made anemic by phenylhydrazine injection; the enzyme activity in these spleens was about 30 times higher than that in spleens of untreated rats. The purified enzyme preparation showed an apparent molecular weight of 58,500 and appeared to consist of three identical subunits each with a molecular weight of about 19,500. The purified enzyme catalyzed specifically the hydrolysis of dUTP, and no other naturally occurring nucleoside triphosphates could be hydrolyzed by this enzyme. The Km value for dUTP was 12 μm. Enzyme activity was inhibited by the addition of EDTA, whereas the enzyme preparation exhibited activity in the absence of added divalent cations. Activity was not affected by the addition of fluoride ion. 相似文献

The relative effectiveness of the ligands Mg2+, Na+, and ATP in preparing sodium plus potassium ion transport adenosine triphosphatase for phosphorylation was studied by means of a rapid mixing apparatus. Addition of 2 mM MgC12, 120 mM NaC1, and 5 muM [gamma-32P]ATP simultaneously to the free enzyme gave an initial phosphorylation rate of about 0.3 mu mol-mg-1-min-1 at 25 degrees and pH7.4. Addition of Mg2+ to the enzyme beforehand, separately or in combination with Na+ or ATP, had little effect on the initial rate. Addition of Na+ only to the enzyme beforehand increased this rate 1.5- to 3-fold. Early addition of ATP 130 ms before Na+ plus Mg2+ increased the rate 6- to 7-fold. Early addition of Na+ plus ATP was most effective; it increased the rate about 10-fold. The data indicate that Na+ and ATP bind in a random order and that each ligand potentiates the effect of the other. The rate of dissociation of ATP from the enzyme was estimated by a chase of unlabeled ATP of variable duration. This rate was slowest in the presence of Mg2+ (k = 540 min-1), most rapid in the presence of Na+ (k = 2000 min-1), and intermediate (k = 1100 min-1) in the absence of metal ions. The effect of Na+ concentration on the rate of phosphorylation was estimated when Na+ with Mg2+ was added to the enzyme-ATP complex. The rate followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics with a maximum of 2.9 mu mol-mg-1 and a Km of 8 mM. The effect of Na+ concentration was also estimated on the increment in the rate of phosphorylation produced by the presence of Na+ with the enzyme-ATP complex beforehand. The increment followed the same kinetics with a maximum of 3.75 mu mol-mg-1-min-1 and a Km of 5.4 mM. In both cases estimation of the Hill coefficient failed to show cooperativity between binding sites for Na+. In contrast, the dependence of ouabain-sensitive ATPase activity on Na+ concentration in the absence of K+ indicated two sites for Na+ with apparent Km values of 0.16 and 8.1 mM, respectively. 相似文献

1. On subcellular fractionation of rat brain homogenate, polyphosphoinositide phosphomonoesterase activity was greater in the cytosol than the membranous fractions. 2. The enzyme was purified from the cytosol by column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, calcium phosphate gel and Sephadex G-100. 3. The final preparation of the enzyme showed a 430-fold purification over the whole homogenate and appeared to be homogeneous since it gave a single band on sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and on isoelectric focusing. The enzyme has a relatively low molecular weight and an isoelectric point of 6.8. 4. The phosphatase showed a high affinity for triphosphoinositide. Without added Mg2+, the Km was 25 muM and V was 33 mumol Pi released/min/mg protein. 5. The enzyme hydrolysed diphosphoinositide at a slower rate than triphosphoinositide. In the presence of 10 mM Mg2+, the Km values for triphosphoinositide and diphosphoinositide were 5 muM and 25 muM respectively and V was the same for each substrate. 6. Both Mg2+ and Ca2+ activated the enzyme. While Ca2+ produced maximum activation at 100 muM, a much higher concentration of Mg2+ (10 mM) was required to elicit comparable activation. The enzyme did not show an absolute requirement for Mg2+ or Ca2+ as it exhibited low activity in the presence of 0.5 mM EDTA or EGTA. 7. The phosphatase showed maximum activity between 7.4 and 7.6. A drop in pH to 7.0 activated it almost completely, whereas an increase in pH to 8.0 halved the activity. 7.0 activated it almost completely, whereas an increase in pH to 8.0 halved the activity. 相似文献

Sarcolemma isolated from guinea pig heart ventricles possessed ATP-dependent Ca2+ binding and accumulation (+ oxalate) activities which were not inhibited by sodium azide, oligomycin, or ruthenium red. Ca2+ binding and accumulation by sarcolemma were sensitive to pH, the optimum being about pH 6.8. The concentrations of ATP required for half-maximal binding and accumulation were 94.3 and 172 muM, respectively. Mg2+ up to 5 mM significantly enhanced both activities but was inhibitory at higher concentrations (greater than 10 mM). Sarcolemmal Ca2+ binding and accumulation were stimulated 100% by K+, half-maximal enhancement occurring at 5-10 mM K+. Ca2+ binding and accumulation were both saturable processes and the respective apparent Km values for Ca2+ were 16.4 and 14.3 muM. Ca2+ binding by sarcolemma was a rapid process and the bound Ca2+ was released upon depletion of ATP in the medium. It is suggested that the sarcolemmal Ca2+ transport system may well be of significance in regulation of the contraction-relaxation cycle of cardiac muscle. 相似文献

A membrane fraction from calf thymocytes was used to investigate molecular and catalytic properties of membrane-bound alkaline phosphatase (ortho-phosphoric-monoester phosphohydrolase EC 3.1.3.1). The principal findings were: 1. Solubilization of membranes with the non-ionic detergent Triton X-100 increases alkaline phosphatase activity by 30-40%. The enzyme activity elutes in a single peak (Stokes' radius = 7.7 nm) after chromatography in Sepharose 6B in the presence of Triton X-100. The activity also sediments as a single component of approx. 6.4 S during centrifugation in sucrose gradients containing Triton X-100. 2. Ion-exchange chromatography and isoelectric focusing in the presence of Triton X-100 indicate substantial charge heterogeneity. Two overlapping bands, a peak at pH 5.92 with a pronounced shoulder at pH 5.29, are apparent by isoelectric focusing. 3. The pH optimum for hydrolysis of p-nitrophenylphosphate (pNPhP) by the undissolved enzyme(s) is 9.57. Half-maximal activity occurs at pH 8.65 and ph 10.45. Triton X-100 has no effect on the pH profile. 4. Catalytic activity is affected by amines, especially analogues of ethanolamine. Diethanolamine exerts a unique stimulatory effect, but does not change the pH dependency. Increasing the concentration of diethanolamine from 0 to 1 M causes a 6-fold increase in Km and a 10-fold increase in the rate of hydrolysis of pNPhP. Glycine is inhibitory. 5. EDTA causes an irreversible loss of activity with t1/2 (1 mM EDTA, pH 8.2, 23 degrees C) = 3.5 h. Optimal activity is achieved in 0.1--1.0 mM Mg2+, although this does not cause the degree of activation reported to occur with the purified enzymes. Other divalent ions are inhibitory. Concentrations required to reduce activity to 50% of control are: Zn2+, 4.0 muM (no added Mg2+) and 30 muM (in the presence of 1 mM Mg2+); Mn2+, 0.25 mM (+/- Mg2+); Ca2+, 20 mM (+/- Mg2+). 6. Monovalent cations have little effect on activity. In the absence of added Mg2+, 50--150 mM Na+ is partially inhibitory, but markedly less so in the presence of 1 mM Mg2+. K+ has no significant effect. 7. Of the substrates tested, pNPhP (Km = 44 muM) was most rapidly hydrolyzed. Other substrates (rate relative to pNPhP) were alpha-naphthylphosphate (0.79), 2'-AMP (0.80), 5'-AMP (0.70), 3'-AMP (0.63), alpha-glycerophosphate (0.47) and glucose 6-phosphate (0.35). Phosphodiesterase activity was less than or equal to 10% of the phosphomonoesterase activity (for pNPhP) as evidenced by the lack of hydrolysis of bis(p-nitrophenyl)-phosphate and cyclic 3',5'-AMP. The ability of these substances to inhibit hydrolysis of pNPhP reflected their capacity as substrates, i.e. the most inhibitory were the most rapidly hydrolyzed. 相似文献

This study was designed to establish the properties of liver plasma membranes (LPM) Na+,K+-ATPase in the hamster and to determine whether a similar assay may be used to measure enzyme activity in the hamster and in the rat. Maximal Na+,K+-ATPase activity was obtained when the assay medium contained 5 mM Mg APT2- with or without 1 mM free Mg2+, 120 mM Na+, 12,5 mM K+. The incubation must be performed at 37 degrees C, pH 7.4. In the absence of free Mg2+, the saturation curve with respect to the substrate Mg ATP2- resulted in biphasic complex kinetics with a maximal activity at a substrate concentration of 5 mM. In the presence of 1 mM free Mg2+ activation of Na+,K+-ATPase and modification of the kinetics were observed: the biphasic curve tended to disappear and to become of the Michaelis-Menten type. The apparent Km for Mg APT2- was 0.36 mM and the Vmax 34.5 mumol.h-1.mg protein-1. In the presence of 10 mM free Mg2+ a decrease in the Vmax was observed without any effect on the apparent Km for Mg APT2-. It is concluded that the same incubation medium may be used to assay LPM N+,K+-ATPase from hamster and rat and that the addition of 1 mM free Mg2+ to the incubation medium is recommended to obtain Michaelis-Menten kinetics in order to eliminate complex kinetics due to the absence of free Mg2+. 相似文献

The enzymatic properties of purified preparations of chicken liver and chicken skeletal muscle fructose bisphosphatases (D-fructose-1,6-bisphosphate 1-phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.11) were compared. Both enzymes have an absolute requirement for Mg2+ or Mn2+. The apparent Km for MgCl2 at pH 7.5 was 0.5 mM for the muscle enzyme and 5 mM for the liver enzyme. Fructose bisphosphate inhibited both enzymes. At pH 7.5, the inhibitor constants (Ki) were 0.18 and 1.3 mM for muscle and liver fructose bisphosphatases, respectively. The muscle enzyme was considerably more sensitive to AMP inhibition than the liver enzyme. At pH 7.5 and in the presence of 1 mM MgCl2, 50% inhibition of muscle and liver fructose bisphosphatases occurred at AMP concentrations of 7 X 10(-9) and 1 X 10(-6) M, respectively. EDTA activated both enzymes. The degree of activation was time and concentration dependent. The degree of EDTA activation of both enzymes decreased with increasing MgCl2 concentration. Ca2+ was a potent inhibitor of both liver (Ki, 1 X 10(-4) M) and muscle (Ki, 1 X 10(-5) M) fructose bisphosphatase. This inhibition was reversed by the presence of EDTA. Ca2+ appears to be a competitive inhibitor with regard to Mg2+. There is, however, a positive homeotropic interaction among Mg2+ sites of both enzymes in the presence of Ca2+. 相似文献

A polynucleotide kinase, which catalyzes the phosphorylation of 5'-hydroxyl ends of deoxyribonucleic acid in the presence of adenosine triphosphate, has been purified 260-fold with a yield of 14% from 0.15 M NaCl extracts of rat liver nuclei. The purified enzyme has a pH optimum of 5.5. The enzyme is reversible inhibited by p-chloromercuribenzoate. The S0.5 value (ligand concentration required for a half-maximal activity) for ATP is 2.5 muM. A bivalent cation is essential for the reaction and S0.5 values for Mg2+, Ca2+ and Mn2+ are 3.3 mM, 4 mM and 0.05 mM respectively. Pyrophosphate remarkable inhibits the activity with I0.5 value (ligand concentration required for a half-maximal inhibition) of 0.2 mM, and sulfate, with I0.5 of 0.5 mM, whereas phosphate weakly inhibits the activity with I0.5 of about 20 mM. An apparent molecular weight of the purified enzyme is estimated to be 8 X 10(4) by gel filtration on a column of Sephadex G-150, and the Stokes radius of the enzyme molecule is shown to be about 0.36 nm. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation reveals that the enzyme has a sedimentation coefficient of about 4.4 S. 相似文献

An enzyme system catalyzing the synthesis of thiamin triphosphate consists of an enzyme (protein-bound thiamin diphosphate:ATP phosphoryltransferase), thiamin diphosphate bound to a macromolecule as substrate, ATP, Mg2+, and a low molecular weight cofactor. This system was established by combining a purified enzyme and an essentially pure, macromolecule-bound substrate prepared from rat livers. This macromolecule was found to be a protein, and the transphosphorylation of thiamin diphosphate to thiamin triphosphate with ATP and enzyme was shown to occur on this macromolecule which binds thiamin diphosphate. Free thiamin, thiamin monophosphate, thiamin diphosphate, and thiamin triphosphate have no effect on this reaction. Thus, the overall reaction is: thiamin diphosphate-protein + ATP in equilibrium thiamin triphosphate-protein + ADP. So-called thiamin diphosphate:ATP phosphoryltransferase (EC 2.7.4.15) activity was not detected in rat brain or liver. The enzyme was extracted from acetone powder of a crude mitochondrial fraction of bovine brain cortex and purified to homogeneity with a 0.6% yield after DEAE-cellulose chromatography, a first gel filtration, hydroxylapatite chromatography, chromatofocusing, and a second gel filtration. The purified enzyme showed a single protein band on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. Its molecular weight was estimated to be 103,000. The pH optimum was 7.5, and the Km was determined to be 6 X 10(-4) M for ATP. ATP was found to be the most effective phosphate donor among the nucleoside triphosphates. Amino acid analysis of the purified enzyme revealed an abundance of glutaminyl, glutamyl, and aspartyl residues. Sulfhydryl reagents inhibited the enzyme reaction. Metals such as Fe2+, Zn2+, Pb2+, and Cu2+ strongly inhibited the activity. The enzyme was unstable, and glycerol (20%) and dithiothreitol (1.0 mM) were found to preserve the enzyme activity. 相似文献

1. The activities of the enzymes involved in the metabolism of cyclic nucleotides were studied in sarcolemma prepared front guinea-pig heart ventricle; the enzyme activities reported here were linear under the assay conditions. 2. Adenylate cyclase was maximally activated by 3mM-NaF; NaF increased the Km for ATP (from 0.042 to 0.19 mM) but decreased the Ka for Mg2+ (from 2.33 to 0.9 mM). In the presence of saturating Mg2+ (15 mM), Mn2+ enhanced adenylate cyclase, whereas Co2+ was inhibitory. beta-Adrenergic amines (10-50 muM) stimulated adenylate cyclase (38+/-2%). When added to the assay mixture, guanyl nucleotides (GTP and its analogue, guanylyl imidophosphate) stimulated basal enzyme activity and enhanced the stimulation by isoproterenol. By contrast, preincubation of sarcolemma with guanylyl imidodiphosphate stimulated the formation of an 'activated' form of the enzyme, which did not reveal increased hormonal sensitivity. 3. The guanylate cyclase present in the membranes as well as in the Triton X-100-solubilized extract of membranes exhibited a Ka for Mn 2+ of 0.3 mM; Mn2+ in excess of GTP was required for maximal activity. Solubilized guanylate cyclase was activated by Mg2+ only in the presence of low Mn2+ concentrations; Ca2+ was inhibitory both in the absence and presence of low Mn2+. Acetylcholine as well as carbamolycholine stimulated membrane-bound guanylate cyclase. 4. Cylic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activities of sarcolemma exhibited both high-and low-Km forms with cyclic AMP and with cyclic GMP as substrate. Ca2+ ions increased the Vmax. of the cyclic GMP-dependent enzyme. 相似文献

The sonication of 30 S dynein obtained from Tetrahymena cilia induced dissociation into 14-S subunits, some of the enzyme still remaining as intact 30 S dynein and partially dissociated dynein (21 S) in a minor amount. It was demonstrated that the enzymatic properties of the 14 S subunit are quite similar to those of 30 S dynein except for the Ca2+:Mg2+ ratio. ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) (ATP phosphohydrolase activity of the 14 S subunit was steadily enhanced by increasing concentrations of Mg2+. It was also activated by Ca2+ with an optimum at 6 mM but inhibited by a further increase in concentration. The Ca2+:Mg2+ ratio at 1 mM was about 0.62. 0.6 M KCl stimulated ATPase activity of the 14 S subunit two-fold. The Mg2+-ATPase had an optimum at pH 6.2 and revealed a high activity over pH 10. The Ca2+-ATPase showed two optima at pH 6.2 and 9.5. The Km for ATP was 10 muM. Only 10% of the 14 S subunit recombined with the outer fibers in the presence of Mg2+. The 14 S subunit was shown to have the same mobility as that of 30 S dynein on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. 相似文献

Particulate preparations from epimastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi contain an adenylyl cyclase (ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing), EC 4.6.1.1) which could be stored at --20 degree C and resisted 5 cycles of freezing and thawing over 10 days without significant loss of activity. The enzyme reaction strictly required Mn2+, had a pH optimum of 7.7 and was not inhibited or stimulated by NaF. Particles prepared in the presence of 10 mM Mn2+ or Mg2+ were 3--4 times more active than particles prepared in the absence of these cations. However, Mg2+ could not substitute for Mn2+ during enzyme assay nor did it enhance activity in the presence of saturating concentrations of Mn2+. The binary complex Mn - ATP2- was shown to be the true substrate for the adenylyl cyclase and free ATP was highly inhibitory. Plots of enzyme activity against equimolar concentrations of ATP - Mn gave sigmoid curves with n values in Hill plots ranging between 1.5 and 2.0. Excess Mn2+ activated the cyclase catalyzed reaction at low but not at high concentrations of ATP - Mn. In the presence of an excess of 1 mM Mn2+, which transforms 97% of the added ATP to productive Mn - ATP2- complex, the substrate saturation curve assumed a Michaelian pattern with an apparent Km =0.2 mM. 相似文献

The mechanism of guanosine triphosphate (GTP) hydrolysis catalyzed by elongation factor G and the ribosome in the absence of other participants in protein synthesis was examined by steady-state kinetic analysis. Optimal hydrolytic conditions were determined to be approximately pH 8.0, 20 mM Mg2+, and 80 mM NH4+. Kinetic analyses were performed under these conditions at constant elongation factor G concentrations and variable ribosome and GTP concentrations. The resulting double-reciprocal plots in conjunction with the inhibition patterns obtained with GDP indicated that the reaction occurs by an ordered mechanism in which GTP is the leading obligatory substrate. Dissociation constants for GTP and guanosine diphosphate (GDP), as well as limiting Michaelis constants for GTP and ribosomes, were calculated from the double-reciprocal plots. These values are: KSGTP = 37.0 muM, KSGDP = 16.5 muKMGTP = 8.0 muM, KMR = 0.22 muM. Inhibition was also observed at high ribosomal concentrations and suggests that inhibition was due both to the decreased breakdown of the tertiary elongation factor G-GDP-ribosome posthydrolytic complex and to the formation of a nonproductive elongation factor G-ribosome complex. A sequential mechanism with a dead-end elongation factor G-ribosome complex has been constructed to describe the hydrolysis of GTP catalyzed by elongation factor G and the ribosome. 相似文献
